Three people were shot and at least one is in critical condition after an early-morning drive-by shooting in Wilmington, police said.

The shooting, which happened on the 1400 block of North Marine Avenue at around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday was likely gang-related, said Brad Baird, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department Harbor Division. | 2013 HOMICIDE MAP

One victim is on life support and possibly brain dead and may not live, while another victim has less serious leg wounds, Baird said.

Police initially reported only two people were shot, but a third victim police believe was connected to the shooting sought treatment at about 7 a.m at Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center in Harbor City, Baird said. The condition of the third victim was not immediately available, Baird said.

Police were beginning their investigation on Tuesday morning. They did not have any suspects in custody.
